War Of The Worlds correct answers Orson Welles was 23 years old when his Mercury Theater
company decided to update H.G. Wells' 19th-century science fiction novel War of the Worlds for
radio.
Welles had been in radio for several years at that point, most notably as the voice of "The
Shadow" in the hit mystery program of the same name.
"War of the Worlds" was not planned as a radio hoax, and Welles had little idea of the havoc it
would cause.
The show began on Sunday, October 30, at 8 p.m. A voice announced: "The Columbia
Broadcasting System and its affiliated stations present Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on
the air in 'War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells."

London's film industry, first as a title card designer for silent movies and, just five years later, as
a director.
Nicknamed the Master of Suspense, he moved to Hollywood in 1939.
Known for films like The Birds, Psycho, North by Northwest and Rear Window he directed

in London. A mysterious man arrives at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Bunting looking for a room to
rent. The Bunting's daughter is a blonde model and is seeing one of the detectives assigned to the
case. The detective becomes jealous of the lodger and begins to suspect he may be the avenger.
Sabotage correct answers Mr. Verloc is part of a gang of foreign saboteurs operating out of
London. He manages a small cinema with his wife and her teenage brother as a cover, but they
are unaware of his secret. Scotland Yard assigned an undercover detective to work at the shop

, The 39 Steps (Play) correct answers The 39 Steps, the play by Patrick Barlow (adapted from the

lens to widen.
